TL;DR Summary

The Maryland Appellate Court has reinstated Adnan Syed's conviction, but no action can take place for at least 60 days. Prosecutors must redo their request to vacate Syed's conviction and sentence, giving the victim's family enough time to be present at a court hearing. If the request is done correctly, the conviction and sentencing will again be vacated, and prosecutors will move to drop the charges altogether. However, the new state's attorney in Baltimore City could change the position of the state's attorneys office. The Appellate Court also wants a more "transparent" hearing, suggesting to prosecutors that they lay out, in more detail, the evidence and reasoning for undoing the conviction.
